This hotel blew me away. From the moment you walk in, where you are always greeted, you feel great! The staff are highly attentive and professional. Check in was easy, and the rooms are gorgeous. I had an executive room on the 9th floor. Huge room with beautiful view and all of the modern amenities. My room rate came with breakfast. It was delicious! Anything you could want, plus an entire section with traditional Japanese breakfast. The location is great too. Not in the hustle and bustle of the city Center but close enough to walk or can to. The immediate area is also very nice, with plenty of cafes and restaurants. The hotel is also home to many award winning restaurants. I tried Yamazato, discussed in a separate review....absolutely amazing. On future business trips I will try to only stay here. Just in awe!
Booking made but due to a human mistake not able to pay deposit upon arrival (late night). Despite 3 nights booking the hotel did not allow to sort it the next day. This has never happened to me anywhere else before. Slept outside next to the channel as a result (so possibly recommended as a team building experience). Correspondence with the hotel did not result in any satisfactory solution: the hotel acknowledged that was not what one should expect from a hotel of their standard, but did not consider any compensation appropriate (they only requested an opportunity to explain their actions, which from my point of view is unnecessary, I am not interested in listening to excuses or providing free consultancy after sleeping on the street). Both my previous and current colleagues have used this as a base hotel in Amsterdam, but that changes now. I have occasionally dined at the Yamazato restaurant of the hotel, I can recommend the restaurant but stay away from the hotel.

So good so good you will die of the sushi.ππππ±π±π±π±children is allowed but not phones.take tepaniaki (zasanka) best gourmet.eat toro and chabu chabu.π£π£not good for lunch but good for dinner.
This is amazing! Clean, spacious rooms, close to public transportation and excellent service. I stayed here for 3 nights and it was excellent. Public transportation is a breeze in Amsterdam and it takes 10 mins to get to downtown.
The hotel is a solid 5 stars with a pool and a fitness center. It has uniformed door staff and porters. The rooms were large and the beds comfortable. It is a bit of a distance from downtown. We just walked in and cabbed it back
Viking River Cruises booked us in the hotel for 2 nights before we began our cruise. Could not have been happier with the hotel. Great location, every employee was smiling with friendly greetings. Employees took their time and answered all our questions. We had a shower leak. Called the front desk to report it. Within 5 minutes we had housekeeping at our door to clean it up and within 10 minutes maintenance was there to replace the bottom door seal. I was amazed how quickly they resolved the issue. I can't remember when I've stayed in a nicer, more friendly hotel than the Okura. We will stay there again when we're in Amsterdam. Also, the food was outstanding in all 3 hotel restaurants we ate.
We stayed at the Okura Hotel for a break away in May to Amsterdam. We found the check in staff extremely helpful and I was very impressed that they gave you maps of Amsterdam upon check in. We had an Executive room with access to the Nagomi spa and the lounge. We absolutely loved the room and the Nspresso machine was a lovely touch and the free water. The room was clean and very spacious and couldn't have asked for anything else. We used the lounge every evening to have a drink before we went out. Its defiantly worth paying the extra as itβs so quiet to sit in the lounge and relax. Overall we had an amazing stay and I would highly recommend this hotel. Itβs not right in the centre of Amsterdam so if you are looking for something more central then this wouldn't be the hotel for you. If you are looking for luxury and great service then it would definitely be the Okura.
Nice well located clean hotel, very good breakfast. Only hitch for me was not being able to dial outside due to some issue with room phone. Nice gym and spa. Nice views from room of the river. Would definitely cone back.
My wife and I wanted to avoid the congestion of central Amsterdam, so we tried the Hotel Okura about two miles south of the central area. The hotel is a work of art, hushed, ultra-modern. Our room had lots of fun features such as an all glass bathroom with a privacy screen that descended at the touch of a button. We didn't eat at any of their three Michelin-rated restaurants, but rather prowled the Pijp district. A local told us that it's the Amsterdam version of the Latin Quarter of Paris. It's a laid back residential district with streets lined with cafes, coffee shops, and bars and a very active street life. We had a wonderful time talking to the staff and fellow diners, watching the street life, admiring the incredible variety of homemade contraptions attached to bicycles to carry human and other cargo. Though we didn't go to the central district, there is a streetcar line half a block from the restaurant that goes right to the inner perimeter. There are shuttle buses from the airport, or you can spring for a 30 Euro taxi ride. The Okura isn't homey, but it is beautiful. And the Pijp district is a wonderful place to explore.
We stayed here for a couple of days. The hotel is a couple of miles outside the old town but we walked it in 40 minutes or so. Three of the four restaurants are Michelin starred with prices to reflect at 200 euros per couple. The fourth restaurant has a very reasonable table de hote for 37 euros. Breakfast was 50 euros per couple and not worth the money in my opinion. As most bookings are room only you have to have a very large holiday spend to eat here. The rooms are excellent and we used the room service one night which I enjoyed and the service was 5 stars. The niggles.... One tea bag per couple for a five star establishment with only powdered milk on offer. I left a note written in Dutch which had been read as it was moved asking for more tea bags and fresh milk but it was ignored. I had to chase the turn down staff whom promptly resolved it. On the second night we were catching up on sleep when the turn down service began knocking at the door I asked them to return after 8pm but they were back within 30 minutes which was really annoying. The staff though pleasant are not as welcoming as other resorts. The night we had room service my wife specifically asked for beef to be well done and it arrived rare in the middle so she decided not to eat the beef. I should have remonstrated but I had already complained about other issues and felt like a pest so decided not to. Overall would I visit again probably not.
